I'm just trying to get a job done here.

I said that I agreed the dump / pictures were below usual DU standards and that it's lucky this error was caught. It could have turned out worse, that concerns me especially when we're dealing with things this rare. Too many dumps from back in the day (last 90s/early 2000s) are still bad or incomplete right now because they didn't get checked and slipped through. With all the evidence, datasheets, resources etc. collected over the years things like this shouldn't slip through, but mistakes do happen, and if they get caught in time they can be fixed.

Anyhow, all of that implies that the quality of the DU work is usually good, this didn't meet those standards. I'm glad there are people looking at the pictures, pairing them up with the dumps etc. but the way you're acting here is only going to alienate them which is something Guru ended up doing, and one of the reasons people stopped wanting to work with him as his dumps, images etc. couldn't be questioned.

It's the weekend now, so no more MAME stuff from me until next week anyway.
